lyrics

D A F#m G
D F#m E, D G E A

Well I swore to my self I'd never write a song like this again
but here we go, please forgive me my friend.
I went to a show down in Long Beach.
It didn't seem that far, it was in my reach.
I went to see the Fox and Bear Band,
cuz when it comes to math rock, I'm a big fan.
I was standing there, waiting for them to start
and you came in and I could feel my heart,

because you were so pretty,
and I get nervous easily.

You walked in and put down your bike.
You had big eyes and blonde hair longer on one side.
You picked up a guitar and began to play,
when I heard your voice it blew me away.
I knew that I had to talk to you,
but I didn't know how, so I waited for my cue.
Then later Adam introduced you to me,
and we hit it off pretty quickly,

but the thing that really got me
was we had both memorized Jabberwocky.

We recited for some people sitting by the fire,
and I could feel the fire in me going wild.
I could feel the dopamine in my brain stem,
and we talked until three a.m.
You were a little drunk so I drove you home.
I didn't want you going alone.
On my way home I listened to the radio,
because that's how I deal with these things you know.
When I got home, I went to sleep.
Put my head on my pillow started counting sheep.
It was dark for a while, but then you appeared.
You whispered something in my ear,
but I couldn't hear.
You walked away, and I followed you,
but you jumped up and away you flew.
